I definitely see the current state of the market as very strong. With the economy seeming to be in a pretty good place right now and the trend being to incorporate modern technology into older hot rods and musclecars, there seems to be no shortage of new products to be developed. On that note, by far the biggest trend I've seen in the last couple of years is the huge surge in popularity with the classic truck market. It seems that everyone is getting in on the action. Not to be outdone, we are bringing several new innovative truck products to debut at the 2019 SEMA Show.

With the increase in Millennial enthusiasts and the older generations increasingly hopping on the technology train, people are changing the way they're shopping. We've known for a long time that the internet has changed the way people shop, but remember that Millennials grew up shopping online. Many use the internet exclusively to research and order parts. Businesses with a poor internet presence, outdated websites or simply refusing to go online will most assuredly suffer.
